Stillen.com, to begin with. Also try visiting all the Nissan/Infinity sites. They escape my memory at this time, sorry. Some one will post it soon. This forum is full of good people that know alot.

I've been looking around a bit and found that Magnaflow makes a good exhaust for the G35 platform. You may also want to visit "gotJDM.com" and look around there a bit. also try www.jimwolftechnology.com and see what productys they have that may fit your needs. Jim Wolf has been around since 1973, serving Nissan needs. I'm sure they will have what you want. Search around, though. There are plenty of sites to visit.

personally i think if you want a intake it has to be K and N. of all the intakes ive seen they make the most power, for instance 20 hp on my dads 03 chev 1500, but are fairly pricey. as far as exhaust you can't go wrong with much but I'd say take it to a muffler shop and get them to run the exhaust all the way, or do it yourself if you can, if you want the most power out of it. you are looking at closer to $1000 as upposed to $500 though

The only problem with muffler shops is that you won't get the high quality steel and mandrel bends that are nonrestrictive like with the cat back systems that Magnaflow and others make. They use far better materials than muffler shops. After market exhaust is pretty plug and play and any one with a liftjack and a few jack stands can get one installed in a couple of hours. Intakes are another story. You get the most out of an intake and exhaust combination when the engine is built up a little. You only get minimal horsepower gains when you're running a stock trim engine. My Rav4 only gained 4 horses from the 138hp that it had from stock. I thought I would see more and was mistaken. I installed a 2.5" DIA. Bosal Bro-Speed catback exhaust ststem, a 2.25"DIA. front down pipe and a BOMZ short ram cold air intake that goes into a 70mm. T-Body. The rest of the engine is pretty much stock except for the free flow direct bolt on first stage cat. It looks stock but it isn't. Any way, I'm planning on some things for it, like a turbo and a trick torque converter in the bell housing, but money is an issue. When things get better, I'll consider that option, but my heart is set on a 2JZ engine for it. They're just plans and ideas, at this point. We'll see how things go.

it all depends where you go. also, if you go cat-back then from the header back is stock size and you won't see as good of power gain. it definately depends what type of intake you get. if you get a cold air intake you get higher gains but not as much at lower rpms while a short ram gets less power but better through out the rpm range

Yeah, that sounds about right. Mine is performing like that at mid range. I think that I need to install injectors that have a higher cc out put. A higher flow fuel pump would help, too. I'll experiment when things start improving financially.

Yeah. It's some thing that I've been fiddling around with in my head for some time now. I have too much on my plate to even consider making plans as of yet. But, yeah, it would be a monster sleeper. There is this dude that lives on the western part of Puerto Rico that owns a 4dr Rav4 with 260hp to the front wheels. He doesn't have an AWD version like mine. I am, when I get around to actually doing this, going to keep it an AWD with the 2JZ. I have to plan this out meticulously so that it looks as if it wasn't carrying a monster under the hood. Any way, the reason I mention that one is that I would love to race him, and all comers, in Puerto Rico, when and if, I ever get to work on that project. I have a mental picture of how things will fit and function but you know how it goes.

lol id say meticulously would be key there, my auntie has a stock rav4 and there definately isn't a ton of room under there. its a 4 banger stock right? damn 260 in a rav4, thats gotta be some kinda quick. their so light for a suv

Yeah. They are some what light considering the model. Mine is no where near the ponies like that dude in P.R. My rav4 is only pushing around 140-142. With all that was istalled in it so far, it's not impressive. I need to mess with the fuel system and valve lift duration with different cams. I would like to see 150 to 160hp. I think that's a realistic goal.
It would be an eye opener, for some in P.R., to see a rav4 with a 2JZ swap in it. Money is the key factor in my plans, though. I need a lot of it to get'ir done. Some day soon, I hope. First i have the 87 Nissan 200sx to worry about. I want a RB25DET engine for that one. More dreams that require more money. The know how is there but the money isn't. My kids are my priority right now. I have some time yet.
